Growing Tips for Banana Cream OG Auto

Growing Banana Cream OG seeds is fairly simple, even for beginners. This strain is low-maintenance and tends to grow medium to tall, so it requires a little more headroom than most strains. The plants grow into beautiful, pale green buds with thick, resinous trichomes. This strain prefers a warm and humid environment to thrive, similar to that of California in the summer. If you can provide it with the correct nutrient-rich soil and high-intensity lighting, then you should grow it indoors.

If you can give these plants a proper outdoor climate, then they will grow bigger than they would indoors, which typically results in denser, resin-coated buds. The perfect climate for this strain is sunny and just enough humidity to help it grow without sprouting mold or bud rot on the plants. Fresh air and sunlight, as well as warm temperatures, will benefit this strain, helping it reach the high THC levels it is known for. The ideal temperature for these plants is around 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit. Humidity levels should be kept around 40-50% during the vegetative stage and maintained at 40% during the flowering stage of growth. Keeping the humidity levels below 55% will help keep mold and mildew off your plants.

Banana Cream OG Auto plants grow taller than other autoflowering varieties, so keep that in mind when figuring out your grow space. Utilizing methods like topping and/or Low-stress training can optimize growth and help manage the plant’s size. These methods will increase yields and help to control the canopy, creating even growth where light reaches the bottom-most buds. Banana Cream OG Auto plants require an 18-20 hour light cycle to get them started and to get them through the vegetative stage. Because this strain is an autoflowering variety, it does not require a change in light cycle to induce the flowering stage of growth, it will do that automatically, making this grow a little easier on the grower.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

• Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Banana Cream OG Auto strain to harvest after a flowering period of 60-70 days.
• Yields: While Indoor yields are around 300 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 350 grams per plant. Considering how easy this strain is to grow and its autoflowering capabilities, these yields are actually quite good. Keep in mind that this strain has a THC content north of 26%, so you get more bang for your buck in each bud.
• Harvest: Outdoor growers can plan on harvesting their yields around the end of October through the beginning of November.
